Creativity at the mall for Snail Mail
Saturday, September
25, 2004
For two Tuesdays and two Wednesdays early this August, VAB was at the Shoppers World Brampton mall, encouraging creativity in the community. On each of those days, mall patrons were encouraged to create postcard sized entries for VAB's Snail Mail World Postcard Art Show.
On the last Wednesday of the event, mall patrons could actually have their faces drawn for free. Our portrait artists included Marguerite Finlayson, Keith Moreau, Marian Simpson, and Mary Angela Nangini. Mary Noble was a crowd favourite, creating her pictures coloured pencil.
While mainly youth participated in the postcard creation, then-former-and-now-current member Mary Angela Nangini sat down and created with us.
The event was great for awareness, as many Bramptonians learned of the group for the first time.
